An extremely broad satire of the quest to create green vehicles, "Time to Change the Pitch" emphasizes the attempts, both genuine and half-hearted, by the auto industry to create a greener mode of transportation. Ultimately, the play points out that the basic flaw is a system based on the combustion engine, but also that it is important to continue to search for possible solutions, even in the most bizarre of locations.
Set in a showroom, a sleazy car dealer takes a 1950's American family through the colorful history and failure of alternative fuel vehicles, with pitstops along the way to hear pitches from the president of Toyota and for the atomic powered car (yes, it was real).
Featuring a few characters with pre-recorded dialogue as well as the option for three pre-recorded video segments, “Time to Change the Pitch” also has the potential to be a true multi-media production, if so desired.
"Time to Change the Pitch" was the 1st Place National Winner in the 2010 Bloomington Playwrights' Project Awarefest competition.
